from my library (cd)




Full disclosure, I love jazz for it's historical significance on music. Picked up this Parker compilation somewhere along the way. Not a very
good one. I get five alternate takes out of 13 tracks. All of them are from 2 different recording sessions around 1952. Considering his
recording releases are too many to be counted, this cd is a small slice. Charlie's peak was in the 40's-50's. A big influence in the be-bop era.
Died at the young age of 34 in 1955. Coroner estimated his age to be between 50-60. Grabbed a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1984.
